Writing Business Letters

Correspondence is an essential part of business. In fact most telephoned and telegraphed communications have to be confirmed in writing.

Every letter no matter what kind it is should be laconic, precise, to the point and positive.

Letters are written on various occasions and on various subject matters. Many business letters are connected with establishing business relations, doing business and various different questions.

“GOLDEN RULES” for writing letters and memos:

1. Give your letter a heading; it will help the reader to see at glance what you are writing about.

2. Decide what you are going to say before you start to write. In other words always try to plan ahead.

3. Use short sentences.

4. Put each separate idea in a separate paragraph.

The usual layout for the official business letter is known as the blocked style. In this style all new lines of typing are ranged to the left including paragraph openings and the concluding salutation. There is no punctuation in the address and the greetings. The same style is followed on the envelope.

This streamline style is considered to be efficient, modern and is designed to save the typist time.

Business letters are usually quite formal. The different parts of them are listed below.
